19 March 2014

The International Labour Organization (ILO) launched an online database showing how 51 garment factories performed in terms of key working conditions.

ILO said 30 companies had complied with all 21 basic legal requirements. Among the other companies, the number of violations fell from 59 in December to 34 in February. ILO noted that factories conducting emergency evacuation drills rose from 55% to 77%. Among other requirements, proper payment of seniority-related benefits increased from 71% to 94%. As for union compliance with legal requirements, ILO said none of the strikes conducted in the factories included in the March 2014 transparency database met legal requirements.
